Let’s End this Nightmare: The Corporate Income Tax

Tax day is no one’s favorite day. But perhaps we can take this opportunity to examine how we can reform one of the most complex tax systems in the world. Big Think chief Economist Daniel Altman has a suggestion to end this long national nightmare: get rid of the corporate income tax.
